10 Persia and Lud and Put were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech.
